Hi Dave,

How can you link 2 together make 72 v ?
I would say with caution.

I'm not too sure if you are having fun or placing a serious question.

But if you are going to run a C5 motor at 72V then take care, you can expect melted motor cables and brush holders, even a welded relay.

Anyway, av phun.

Karl.

So I would advise not to do this
